Night lights

[emstevenson]

Hi

I wondered if anyone can recommend a good night light - not too light not too dull, obvious but I can't seem to find one that is quite right.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Many Thanks

Emma

We have two,neither of which are principally a night light-one is the glo egg that acts as a room thermometer- it is fairly bright so sits behind something on her bedside table-the light then diffuses from behind which is nice.the other is the light on our angelcare monitor-again,sits on floor behind basket of toys so light diffuses.point being a lot of the pure night lights plug in directly and you are stuck with where you put it and the brightness level.if you get something multifunctional with a bit of a cable you can hide it if too bright, or leave it out if you think it's not bright enough.i for one hate light shining in my eyes when I'm trying to sleep (even the clock seems to get brighter when I'm sleepy),which is why I'd be the advocat of have a brighter light but put something in the lights path to your baby/child so it doesn't annoy them in their sleep.wow,how to overcomplicaye the situation! Good luck whatever you choose.s

I've been pleased with the Ecozone Moonlight you can get on Amazon - plugs into a regular socket and emits a subtle greenish light. Found it invaluable for night feeds with my baby - emits enough light to see what you're doing.

My son was given a gorgeous toadstool night light by The White Rabbit company, which he absolutely loves. Gentle glow and also helpful for night feeds when he was a baby. You can find them online.

How old is your child? If you plan to get a clock for him/her later on, the Gro clock has a built in nightlight which has been great for my children.

I bought one of those old globes/atlas off (ebay) which works well as a night light, definately not too bright..... (although I switch it off and dont leave it on teh whole night)

We use a Lumie Bodyclock that used to be in our room - turned up quite high for bedtime stories, lower when it's time to get into bed, and very low overnight. It was great for nighttime changes when he was little, you can turn it up just enough to see what you're doing without the extra light being a horrible shock for either of you. I would love to get something pretty like the toadstool or rabbit lights for his room and reclaim the Bodyclock but being able to control the amount of light is so useful I'm not sure that bedtime would work as well without it.
